The province where employers treat their employees like shit and get away with it. Where you
are given poor customer service at every turn and it is accepted. The province where
you get over-taxed and are given less services and no one cares. A province where
there is nothing to do, no where to shop and prices are higher than most places. I see
why everyone from this shitty province thinks that people from Ontario are assholes. Yeah,
we are assholes because we don’t put up with the shit that people from Nova Scotia do. I would
rather be an asshole than a stunned for life Nova Scotian with no hope. —#can’tfixstupid

All you say is true, most notably that , yes, you are an ARSEHOLE.
Are we all that bad?!
No
Is this Bitch blown completely out of proportion?!
Yes
fool
I’ll concur: Yes, you are an arsehole.
I agree – you wonder why small business thrives in Ontario? Because people have realistic expectations – and people work their asses off. They don’t over charge because they can, or so that they can make as much money as possible with as little effort as possible. They don’t set goals of getting their EI hours in so they can take easy street for the rest of the year.
I always said it too – no one in the rest of the country would put up with what we do here on the east coast – and I hate Harper, but he was completely right on one thing: Atlantic Canada has a culture of defeat – its easier for everyone here just to quit, complain and wait for the handouts.
What is considered acceptable here in basically every facet of life, is disgusting. People let their properties go to shit and look like hell, they let themselves go to shit and look like hell, they let their work ethic look like shit and go to hell, they treat their employees like shit, they milk the shitty system for everything it is worth then they complain that they can’t get enough help and that they deserve more.
Let’s see now, my employer treats me great, customer service for the most part has been very good (those with bad don’t get my business), and I’ll agree with you on being over-taxed (thanks Darrell). As for nothing to do or nowhere to shop, just open your eyes. I for one am amazed that with our population that the stores here can even make a living. There are plenty of things to do from sports to entertainment, nightlife, volunteer organizations. About the only things we don’t have is an opera, pro sports teams, a zoo (an anachronism), and aquarium. The reason for those is we don’t have the population to support them.
Now if you like Ontario so much, then I invite you to go to the via station (bus or train), Stanfield Airport, or to the 102 to the 104 and get the fuck out of here because we don’t put up with your shit.
Some outrageous generalizations there ustwess! Manicured lawns are not only environmentally irresponsible but also the product of a disturbed mind. There we’re even!

Don’t mind ol’ Occifer Tim Tim…
he’s living in his own little fantasy land of candy and rainbows.
The actual world’s a sewer and we’re all living in hell.
The sooner you realize that, the sooner you’ll be able to get on with your crummy life.
I miss canada’s wonderland.
Magic mountain and upper clements can blow a donkey.
Jesus fucking Christ, Tim… Really? Blaming Dexter for us being overtake is the stupidest thing I have ever heard. Yes, before Dexter we were being taxed at a sensible rate, power was free, the streets were paved with “job well done” stickers from both the Liberals and PC’s, and everyone had a good union job. Is he the best premier the province ever had? Not by a long shot but, blaming overtaxation on one premier shows just how stupid you really are.
my boss is in Ontario, and he isn’t an asshole. mind you, he wants to move to nova scotia.
Bye!
Well old Dex did raise the HST by over 15% the actual increase, no the 2% some people believe. The rate went from 13% to 15% and actual increase of over 15%. He raised all the service fees and I have never seen power rates increase so much as under Dexy’s watch. Streets paved with gold? Surely you jest as they can’t even get ptholes filled in, even when they have their very own “mobile asphalt plant”. And let’s not forget that he increased the debt by almost $3B in four years. He isn’t even close to being a mediocre premier. SHITD, if you want to see stupid, look in a mirror.
It’s upper canada’s fault that things are harder here. You take and you take and you take and then you come here and bitch and bitch and bitch.
I can’t fucking even start with you…. You guys rape the shit out of us on a regular basis, then expect everything you’re accustomed to to still exist here.
How about you get the fuck out of here if you can’t stand the fallout from what your provinces have done to us?
I never said he was a mediocre premier. I didn’t vote for him, nor will the NDP (federally or provincially) ever get my vote but, you can’t say that having to pay for previous poor governance by raising taxes and service fees is “Dexter’s fault”. I don’t know where you get your math skills from but, a 2% raise in consumption tax is exactly that, a 2% raise in consumption tax. Even if it were possible to lump all the service fees and raised taxes into one big ball of wax, it all wouldn’t equal 15% for everyone. Not everyone uses every single service the government provides. Where else do we get the moey to pay for bloated union wages, massive police budgets ( to pick at the low hanging fruit, like pot dealers/growers/smokers ), corporate welfare and pensions for our government workers? All things that, correct me if Im wrong, were there long before Dexter was ever even considering running for politics. Its real easy to sit back and blame the “now” government for everything but, its simply not true and a complete misnomer.
I took your advice and looked in the mirror; luckily for me I was able to see everything above my neck cause my head isn’t fully enveloped by my ass.
Let’s do a little math. We know the HST rate went from 13% to 15%. That is a raise in the tax rate but not the raise of the actual cost. The jump in the cost is not 2% but 15%. On $100 you used to pay $13 on an item, now you are paying $15. If you were actually paying 2% more then your actual increase would be a whopping 26 cents, not $2. Now get your ass out of your head and give it a shake.
Crack open a can of that concentrated rat piss you call Molsen, take a breath, and figure out how your going to get back to that cultureless, stuffy parking lot you call home.
We’ve got loads of problems, but being whiny, overprivileged shitheads that feel inclined to move somewhere flavorful isn’t one of them.
Anyways, you should be just in time for that new Pottery barn there opening in Ajax or Whitby or Oshawa or Pickering or whatever other fucking intravenous, hampster wheel “I’m from Toronto” 401 shit hole I know you hail from.
Suck my long salty Nova Scotian dick,
Maybe you’ll taste a real beer when I piss in your mouth ~
On a side note, if there’s one thing this dribble of breast milk has a point about. It’s that we really do lack any public awareness, and we really do let the stinky chubby dick of the goverment and there affiliates bend us over at every intersection. The fact that we let that billion dollar fishbowl Emera erected on our waterfront happen in the first place is a testament to that.. 16 cents a killowatt while they burn petcoke and post 50 percent profits in there first quarter. Come on people.
Congrats Tim. You’ve taken an alternate way to explain the math to create a larger sense of outrage to get more support for your viewpoint. You’re real Fox material. So if something was $100 and I paid $13 in tax before to make $113, your insinuations would lead one to believe that there’s a 15% increase on top of that making it $130. Yes 13 plus 15% equals 15, other than that, you are full of fucking shit. I wont get into your other comments, I just wont see math being abused to sway public opinion.
Math abuse? You should talk to the NDP about math abuse. We are paying an extra 15% in taxes with the rate going from 13-15% there is no fancy footwork involved.
Ummmm….how many times can you make yourself look like an ass, Tim. Yes, 2% of 13% is .26%, not 26 cents. A percentage of a percentage is still, and will always be, a percentage. You can’t multiply a percentage by a percentage and get a dollar value for an answer, dumbass.
You raise a tax rate by 2% by raising the total rate , as in from 13% + 2% = 15%. Look at that, the tax rate increased by 2%, meaning on a 100 dollar purchase, your pay 2 dollars more, or 2% of the purchase price. Your math is flawed, period. You are multiplying the tax rate by 2%, not adding 2% to the total tax rate, which we all know is how the tax rate increases. Anyway, this is a stupid argument over semantics, which still makes you an ass.
Why don’t you try and apply your “math” the next time your mortgage is up for re-negotiation and see how far you get before they laugh you out of the bank?
Well SHITD, I just look at the thumbs up and down and I get a hell of a lot more thumbs up than you do. But see as usual you are confusing the TAX RATE to the TAX INCREASE. The rate went up from 13% to 15% but the cost out of your pocket is more than that.
Option One. Stay here and bitch until you’re head explodes.
Option Two. Move.
Option #2, please
I ain’t no fool
No, Tim, it doesn’t “cost more”. It costs what it costs. The government sets the rate of taxation, so their math is the right math, not yours. We pay what they say we pay, no matter how its worded.
Lol, the “thumbs up” on an anonymous internet forum is totally how I judge how right I am. Don’t you have some racial profiling to do? Assclown!!!!!
I swear it’s like some fatass southerner being invited to one of his plantation worker’s home for dinner and bitch because there isn’t enough mint julep at the table.
Op I don’t think you’re a disgusting human being. I think you’re an oblivious human being who doesn’t know jack shit about how his country operates. You might be happier in New Hampshire. Everything is cheap, available and plentiful there. Including guns.
“Option #2, please”
No fooling!!
OMG!!! are we supposed to pay homage to those likes and dislikes??? OMG!!!!
like, should I get a kneeling pad? or some kind of bristle-y shirt? how many people do I have to blow?
patooie! NOT!
The self-flagellation line starts to the left.
LOL ^^

Aww when one doesn’t have a rebuttal, start calling people names. How mature.
Care to elaborate on how Ontario is screwing us crayons? Last I checked we were the ones getting equalization payments and refusing to get with the 21st century, sitting around with our thumbs up our asses while all the young people leave because there is no opportunity unless you work for 1 of 3 companies that own 98% of this province. Not to mention we can’t figure out what do with gaping holes that are taking up prime real estate in our dowtown, which happens to be the biggest city in, and the face of Atlantic Canada. Yes, it’s all Ontario’s fault.
Our past governments are screwing us because all anyone wants to do around here is twiddle our thumbs and let the next generation deal with our mistakes and indecisveness.
i like ontario and quebec and nfld etc
And for the record Tim, Steve is right. The sales tax is the least of my worries and I think I speak on behalf of most people. It’s the income tax that I find makes it hard to get ahead. People making under 50k a year work some overtime and the gov’t take half. HALF! from someone making UNDER 50K. I wouldn’t complain if our public services reflected this but our roads, schools, hostpitals, transit, public services all SUCK because most of our tax dollars go towards paying intrest on debt that previous, non-NDP governments racked up with no intention of re-paying. Not to mention the millions that just ‘go missing’ Not saying Dexter is good or bad but to say it’s his or his party’s fault that taxes are high is pure bullshit.
And it’s because the NDP (remember them, for families and the average Joe) refuses to raise the Basic Allowance (we have the third lowest in Canada). That in itself, if raise to federal levels would actually help the poor.
“my boss is in Ontario, and he isn’t an asshole. mind you, he wants to move to nova scotia.”
Until he realizes his self-worth, personal value and salary won’t move with him… nor will the affordable cost of living and opportunities in Ontario.
I was your boss once, I just made the mistake of actually following through with moving back to NS…
